Nap snuggles

When I sat down to nurse Jack about 10 minutes ago, I had big plans. I was going to pay the bills while I got him down to sleep, then put him down in his swing so I could fold some laundry while he slept... My to-do list was a mile long.

But then he fell asleep, and he is so soft and snuggly, and he's growing so very fast.

I think I'll just hold him. I won't ever remember whether or not I got that laundry done or the bathroom floor cleaned. I will regret it, though, if I'm always rushing away from my baby. I will regret it if I don't take these moments to hold him while I can.

It's going so fast. He's almost 5 months old. It's ok to slow down once in a while, isn't it? Don't judge me if my bathroom floors aren't clean, or if my laundry isn't put away. My kids are well loved, and that's all that truly matters today.
